Gerd's place was absolutely perfect for our short stay in Bangkok and excellent value for money. We have been to Bangkok a couple of times before so we weren't interested in doing lots of the touristy stuff but just wanted somewhere to rest and relax. The apartment is just a shown on the photographs and its very clean and has a particularly nice bathroom with a big bath. The kitchen is basic and is a little short on cutlery and crockery but there are so many places to eat nearby that you will rarely need to use it. The pool is enormous and has the sun on it for a good portion of the day. There is a decent fitness room that we made use of so all in all we were very happy with the facilities.

We have only ever stayed on the Kao San road in bangkok before but found that the area around Gerds apartment had plenty to offer. We found some nice restaurants and bars on soi 8 and would particularly recommend 'Monsoon' for food.

Although the area felt very safe at night, its worth bearing in mind that it seems to be fast becoming the new Pat Pong (red light district) so if that is going to bother you then perhaps this isn't the place for you. We didn't find it an issue in the slightest.

The apartment is very close to Nana BTS station -a fast, cheap and safe way to travel. If you are in Bangkok over weekend, you mustn't miss the enormous market at Mo Chit, just a few stops away on the BTS.

Gerd was very helpful in offering us advice on getting to the apartment and organising a taxi from the airport. Many thanks!
